Non-stick pans were invented in 1954 by Marc Gregoire (pan of onions image by jimcox40 from Fotolia.com)

Teflon, the slippery coating used to make non-stick pans, was invented in 1938 by Dupont. It wasn't until 1954 that a French engineer, by the name of Marc Gregoire, managed to find a way to make Teflon stick to aluminium. The non-stick pan was born and in 1956 Marc and his wife Colette began to market the product as TEFAL. Non-stick pans are easy to clean most of the time, but if you have overcooked something in the pan or residue has built up from cooking oil, there are easy ways to remove this dirt.
